Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
October 19, 2026: SOAP #6163: Job 5; Psalm 108; Acts 10-11

SCRIPTURE: Acts (NIV) 11:1 The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

OBSERVATION: Peter was on his way to Jerusalem to report on how Gentiles had become believers. It is the story of Acts 10. The disciples had received the great commission from Jesus and they were headed out to reach people…but not Gentiles. They had no vision for reaching the Gentiles, but God loved the Gentiles and chapter 10 is about God doing just that!

Acts 10 was 2000+ years ago, but it is exactly what God is doing in West Africa to reach the Muslims today! One Muslim leader got so sick he had to leave his area to visit a doctor. While out of his home area, he received a copy of a SOAP. He called the number listed on the SOAP, received prayer and was healed. Back home, everyone saw what God had done, so they invited the SOAPs to be distributed in their area, each group accompanied by a Muslim to verify that they had permission to be there with Christian papers. Today, thousands and thousands of former Muslims have accepted Jesus as their Lord and are being baptized.

APPLICATION: It only takes one, one Roman Centurion, one Muslim Leader, one fellow worker, one neighbor, one mother-in-law, one doctor, one market worker, or one… God will probably not use us to reach the world, but He will use us to reach one.

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, may I be one you can use to reach one person today. Lead me to bring one person to you. Use me to bring one person who will be a link to others I cannot reach. I may not be able to reach them, but you have ways to reach people I have not even considered. Amen
